+### I can't see environment variables in my package scripts
+
+Wrap your package script with the `with:env` script like such:
+
+```
+npm run with:env -- npm run myscript
+```
+
+The same can be done when using `npx` for one of bin scripts:
+
+```
+npm run with:env -- npx myscript
+```
+
+This will load environment variables from your `.env` and `.env.local` files.
